Manage the main account and sub accounts

Each Logz.io plan starts off with a main account.
If you’re on a Pro or Enterprise plan, you can create sub accounts to help manage user access to your data.

The main account

All users in your main account can search your data in sub accounts and timeless accounts.
To limit data visibility, you can route different logs to different sub accounts.
(More on sub accounts and managing your accounts below.)

Permissions for main account admins

Admin users of the main account also have these permissions:

Create, view, update, and delete users in the main account and sub accounts, including other admin users

Create, view, update, and delete sub accounts

Create, view, update, and delete timeless accounts

Create and delete shared tokens and API tokens

Because of the high level of permissions, we recommend limiting the number of admin users in the main account.

Sub accounts

Sub accounts help you control data usage and manage user access to your logs.
By shipping different logs to different sub accounts, you can define data volumes and retention periods for independent environments.

Managing your accounts

If you’re an admin for the main account, you can manage the main account and sub accounts from the Manage Accounts page ( > Settings > Manage accounts in the top menu).

Click an account in the Time based retention plan panel to see its settings.
